Introduction by Mart Kuusk.

Remember the culture clash in “The Gods Must Be Crazy”? This time it’s real. One of the most ancient cultures on our planet is undergoing a major change. The Ju/Hoansi Bushmen in Namibia are not allowed to hunt any more and need to merge with our “civilized” lifestyle. For the first time the Ju/Hoansi Bushmen travel beyond the Kalahari and right into the heart of Europe. What starts as a look at their fascinating culture becomes an even more fascinating look at our Western lifestyle. A warm and humorous reflection on our habits through the eyes of people who are about to give up their million-year-old traditions.
